According to @stathead.com, Trevor Story is the second player in MLB history (and the first in AL history) to have 25+ stolen bases without getting caught stealing.

Trea Turner's 2023 season with the Phillies was the first.

and with 37 games still left in the season, Caminero has a great chance to climb even higher on a list that features some pretty impressive company

Jose Altuve hit his 250th career home run in the first inning. He needs one more double for 450. When he hits it, Altuve will be the 11th player in MLB history with 250 home runs, 300 stolen bases and 450 doubles.

This has flown under the radar a bit, but Bo Bichette is back to leading the league (and MLB) in hits. With 138 hits in his first 110 games, he's ahead of pace compared to his 2021 and 2022 campaigns when he led the AL in hits. (Via @stathead.com)
